TOURIVILLE. Uncle Peter Touriville, as he was generally known, was born at Florissant, Mo., December 19, 1809, and forty-five years ago settled on a farm in Jersey County, near Newbern, where he resided continously until his death, which occurred Wednesday, August 12th. In February 1839, deceased was married to Nancy Irwin and together had shared the trials of this life, for nearly fifty-two years. He leaves behind, a loving wife, one daughter, Mrs. Glassbrenner, nineteen grandchildren and twelve great-children. The funeral took place Friday, August 15th, at St. Michaels church, Father Marks officiating. The pallbearers were named Alex Chappee, John Chappee, James Chappee, George Chappee, Chas. Chappee and Joseph Chappee. The deceased was the uncle of the five first mentioned, and great uncle of the last pallbearers. It was the request of the deceased that those mentioned be the pallbearers. ~ Jersey County Democrat, Sept. 5, 1891

Nancy Head was married to Peter Tourville under the name of Ann Cosway. As Nancy is a diminutive of Ann, she was probably the previous wife of a Mr. Cosway. At her baptism, she was said to be the daughter of Herman and Emily Head. A Mr. Head was a witness at the wedding, perhaps a brother?
